Kverneland DA
The Classic Pneumatic Seed Drill
The Kverneland DA is a lightweight cultivator-mounted seed drill for power harrows, rotary tillers and tine cultivators.
The Kverneland DA can be used both solo as a tractor-mounted machine (i.e. without tillage implement) or in combination with a variety of tillage implements. Cultivation and drilling can then take place in one pass. This conversion is made possible by the Coupling System.
The standard machine is equipped with a 1000 rpm V-belt drive. It can also be supplied with a hydraulic drive, as an option if required.
The Advantages:
- No soil compaction in the tracks
- Optimum re-compaction after sowing
- Easy handling
- Sturdy yet lightweight design

Pneumatic System
- The central, totally enclosed cell wheel of the metering device accurately measures the required volume of seed and discharges it into the venturi cone where it is mixed with the air stream and then conveyed through the diffuser tube and the seed delivery hoses to the coulters.
- The distribution head is mounted in a protected position inside the seed hopper.
Central Metering Device
- The central metering device accurately metres any desired volume of seed from 2kg per hectare to 380kg per hectare
- For the sowing of fine seeds, e.g. rape or grass, the metering device can be infinitely adjusted to fine seed/micro-metering by means of a spindle, without any need for tools.
- The metering system is mechanically driven via the spiked landwheel running in the tilled soil.
- The metering device is centrally positioned and easily accessible under the hopper.
Various Coulters for Optimum Seed Placement
According to the individual requirements and soil conditions, the pneumatic seed drills can be equipped with Suffolk Coulter or the CX-disc coulter.
- The Suffolk Coulter of Kverneland is especially suitable for sowing after plough and offers coulter distances between 9.4 and 15cm.
- The coulter tip of special cast can be exchanged when worn.
- The CX-disc coulter ensures exact seed placement under both wet and dry conditions
- Due to the combination of convex steel disc and flexible plastic disc, there is no need for independent scrapers saving the costs for expensive wearing parts.
- The convex steel disc forms a clean and clear furrow with light recompaction. The narrow profile allows higher working speed and the convex form of the disc ensures good depth control.
- The flexible plastic disc keeps the furrow open for exact seed placement. It cleans the steel disc and helps prevent sticking and blocking.
- Narrow and wide press wheels are available for special seeding conditions. These press wheels can be fully lifted in case of changing weather conditions.
Universal Hitch Connection
- The quick-hitch triangle interface with power harrows allows the combination of the DA with a power harrow of any brand
- Thanks to the favourable position of its centre of gravity and its light weight, the Kverneland DA can even be used by smaller tractors with low lifting power
